This is a marked drop in class for DUTCH DECOY who may be able to capitalise on his tumbling handicap mark, with Jamie Spencer an interesting jockey booking. Encouragable shaped with promise on first run for a yard that so often improve stable switchers, while C&D winner Midnight's Dream is respected back on turf following a creditable effort on the all-weather last month.

    Verdict
    Fairly useful sort who was successful over 6f as a juvenile. Largely ran with credit in defeat in 3-y-o handicaps on turf last summer before an underwhelming hurdles debut effort at Fontwell in August. Likely needs to pull out more if he's to land this on return.

    Verdict
    Tough, useful handicapper at his best but he arrives on a losing run. Attracted support and step in right direction on reappearance at Ripon but below form in much more competitive races last twice. Significant drop in grade and Jamie Spencer an interesting jockey booking. One to consider.

    Verdict
    Outstanding pedigree but only managed to achieve fair form in maidens for Charlie Appleby in 2023, runner-up previous two outings on all-weather. Makes stable/handicap debut in first time cheekpieces following 17-month absence (gelded in the interim) and he's one to note in the betting.

    Verdict
    Below form final outing of last season and underperformed on reappearance when tenth of 14 in handicap at Chester (7.6f, good, 14/1) 17 days ago. Can be competitive off this mark but needs to bounce back.

    Verdict
    C&D winner in a Class 5 handicap last month. Respectable sixth of 16 in handicap (16/1) at Chelmsford City (8f) 38 days ago and should give a good account back on turf.

    Verdict
    Offered something to work on first outing since leaving James Horton after 3 months off, creditable third of 9 in handicap at Yarmouth (8f, good to firm, 15/2) 25 days ago. Well treated on old form and yard tend to do well with this type.

    Career best when winning 8-runner maiden at Newcastle (7.1f, 11/10) in October but was well held on first outing since leaving Charles Hills after 7 months off (sold for 25,000 gns). Needs more.

    Verdict
    Fair form when fourth of 7 in handicap (9/2) at Pontefract (8f, good) on first run following 5 months off (had gone well fresh in the past). Needs to step forward if he's to capitalise on his falling mark.

    Verdict
    Lightly-raced maiden had a breathing operation prior to his handicap debut (following 5 months off) but proved too keen, finishing 25/1, last of 6 in handicap at Windsor (10f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Others preferred.
